Funniest call of the Year

‘ With the world's biggest population and a national passion for the game, India have become too strong for everyone else.

I reckon if you split India into north, south, east and west and they played in a CWC they'd be the 4 semifinalists.’

………

Watching Oz put away India on their own ground was doubly enjoyable after the Board’s cricket noob  put up that embarrassing  prediction. 

Peeper alert.

The cricket noob is the one who defines a team on a single match . . . and one who disputes India have incredible depth that no other country can aspire to.

No, the funniest board-related moment of the year for me was after watching the mighty Springboks defy the odds, show an incredible will to win and become the first team in history to win 4 RWCs and then - among all the wild celebrating, cheering, national pride and cameraderie - see posts from a self-important and pompous old clown saying he felt "dispirited" while moaning endlessly about the manner of that victory.

That made me literally laugh out loud . . . and I still find it hilarious!

Haaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

How about these stats:

Imagine how needy you must be when….having ripped Eluckmiss and said if we win the final it would be in spite of him rather than because of him…. you reverse course totally and heap praise on his role in the one point victory over 14 men.

"Everything else in the WC made him incompetent, but that compromised win made him a genius."

Ja, ja, he's the luckiest Bok coach ever...2 in a row blind luck...nonsense...

You misinterpret…..that was Peeper’s stance. Mine was all of those games were the same thing. In fact the best game we played was against France.

I also had the Boks to win every game and was the first poster back in 2017 and before who said expansive rugby wasn’t our game and we had to return to traditional power play and defense strengths.

But we still should  give the backs an attacking role off good ball. We didn’t need to kick everything. And narrowly winning the WC without a try when a man up for 45 minutes, is just too close for comfort.
